Android has 30,000 apps, Iphone gawd knows 150,000 ????, N900 has 6, yes thats right 6 apps, but because it has functionality it will rape the iphone right ??? hold on wtf am i saying ??? the n900 has no functionality, only crippling bugs, and that is why Apple sell more phones in a week than nokia has sold to date.

Its all about the apps my boy, after all maemo is only an OS, a platform, it is the apps that run on this layer that provide functionality, and thus lead to sales, comprendo amigo ???

"Would you mind summing up your argument here, as it is very filled with numbers, question marks, and insistence that apps make the phone (despite the original iPhone having no apps.)"

Sure mate, the n900 only has 6 apps because any developer with an IQ>5 would not bother developing apps for a dead platform. The question marks were to highlight that these figures were guesstimates, and open to correction (which someone did).

It is *NOT* only apps that make a successful phone, other base qualities are reliability and user interface, sadly the n900 has none of these attributes.

the n900 is the quasimodo of the phone world, and I guess nokia is doing the right thing by putting it out of its misery. The apps on the n900 frankly are an embarrassment, really lacking any QA and polish, and are often as full of bugs as the OS itself.

Finally >60% of the energies here are spent fixing bugs rather than actually creating innovative software apps, n900's ONLY hope is an andriod port.

hmm im looking forward to monday the 21st to get all that lovely os 4.0 loving totally FOC as well now *THATS* what i call support (even though they really support way back to the 3g phone just to maximise app sales)....multitasking here I come !!!!!

I expect it will be better than the "much anticipated" PR1.2 release that my n900 bent over and took.

I was raped by nokia and lost alot of money on this phone (n900) so i suppose I have a right to complain. Fanboi I am certainly not, just stating facts my friend.

At this point in time the n900 is years behind the competition and nokia is running around like a headless chicken, and I can see parallels in Nokia and commodore in the early 90's just prior to their collapse.

iPhone os 4 is merely catching with what the competition already offers.
